Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioner and its control method and control system. Background Technology

[0002] The North American commercial market has a large number of residential air conditioning units without communication capabilities. Many customers, when upgrading their residential units, only replace the outdoor unit due to labor costs, installation difficulties, and other factors, leaving the indoor unit unchanged. Therefore, to suit the needs of North American customers, the units developed for the commercial market are designed with no communication between the indoor and outdoor units. The indoor and outdoor units operate independently without interference. Thus, inverter units often adjust the compressor frequency based on the target cooling pressure, collecting system pressure data and controlling the compressor frequency to reach the preset target cooling pressure.

[0003] However, during the installation of the outdoor unit, there may be situations where a third-party indoor unit is used. The size of the indoor unit's evaporator and the air volume are changed, and the preset cooling target pressure often cannot meet the customer's capacity requirements. It is easy to achieve the cooling target pressure but the capacity is insufficient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an air conditioner and its control method and control system.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The first aspect of this invention provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising the following steps:

[0007] When the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, determine the relationship between the continuous running time of the air conditioner and the preset continuous running time.

[0008] If the continuous operating time of the air conditioner is less than the preset continuous operating time, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner will operate at the preset cooling target pressure.

[0009] If the continuous running time of the air conditioner is greater than or equal to the preset continuous running time, the average value of the indoor cooling capacity during the preset time period is calculated, and then the relationship between the average value of the indoor cooling capacity and the average value of the preset indoor cooling capacity is determined.

[0010] If the average indoor cooling capacity is less than the preset average indoor cooling capacity, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner will operate at the preset cooling target pressure; otherwise, the cooling target pressure will be adjusted and the outdoor unit will operate at the adjusted cooling target pressure.

[0011] When the air conditioner is in heating mode, if there is a corrected cooling target pressure, the difference between the preset cooling target pressure and the corrected cooling target pressure is calculated, and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner operates at the sum of the preset heating target pressure and the difference; otherwise, it operates at the preset heating target pressure.

[0012] According to the control method described above, calculating the average value of the indoor cooling capacity over a preset time period specifically includes:

[0013] Calculate the outdoor heating capacity for a preset time period before the preset continuous operating time, then calculate the indoor cooling capacity based on the outdoor unit power and the outdoor heating capacity, and finally calculate the average value of the indoor cooling capacity for the preset time period.

[0014] According to the control method described above, the outdoor heating capacity is calculated using the following formula:

[0015] Q 外 =m*c p *(T 外出 -T 外环 );

[0016] Among them, Q 外 Where m is the outdoor heating capacity, c is the air mass flow rate, and m is the outdoor heating capacity. p T is the specific heat capacity of air. 外出 T represents the outdoor condenser outlet air temperature. 外环 This refers to the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0017] According to the control method, the indoor cooling capacity is calculated using the following formula:

[0018] Q 内 =k*(Q 外 -W 外 );

[0019] Among them, Q 内 For indoor cooling capacity, W 外 denoted as outdoor unit power, and k as the heating / cooling balance ratio.

[0020] According to the control method, the step of correcting the cooling target pressure, with the outdoor unit of the air conditioner operating at the corrected cooling target pressure, specifically includes:

[0021] Calculate the difference between the preset target cooling pressure and the preset correction pressure;

[0022] If the difference is greater than or equal to the preset lower limit cooling target pressure, then the difference will be used as the corrected cooling target pressure;

[0023] Conversely, the preset lower limit cooling target pressure is used as the corrected cooling target pressure.

[0024] A second aspect of the present invention provides a control system for performing the above-described control method, comprising:

[0025] The judgment module is used to determine the relationship between the continuous running time of the air conditioner and the preset continuous running time, and to determine the relationship between the average value of the indoor cooling capacity and the preset average value of the indoor cooling capacity.

[0026] The calculation module is used to calculate the average value of indoor cooling capacity over a preset time period and the corrected cooling target pressure when the air conditioner is in cooling mode; and to calculate the difference between the preset cooling target pressure and the corrected cooling target pressure, and the sum of the heating target pressure and the difference when the air conditioner is in heating mode.

[0027] The control module, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, determines whether the continuous running time is less than a preset continuous running time, and controls the outdoor unit to operate at a preset cooling target pressure; determines whether the average indoor cooling capacity is less than a preset average indoor cooling capacity, and controls the outdoor unit to operate at a preset cooling target pressure; determines whether the average indoor cooling capacity is less than a preset average indoor cooling capacity, and controls the outdoor unit to operate at a corrected cooling target pressure; when the air conditioner is in heating mode, it determines whether a corrected cooling target pressure exists. If a corrected cooling target pressure exists, it controls the outdoor unit to operate at the sum of the preset heating target pressure and the difference; otherwise, it controls the outdoor unit to operate at the preset heating target pressure.

[0028] A third aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner, characterized in that it includes: a compressor, a condenser, and the aforementioned control system;

[0029] The refrigerant output from the outdoor compressor passes sequentially through the four-way valve, the condenser, the electronic expansion valve, and the thermal expansion valve into the indoor evaporator. The refrigerant evaporated in the evaporator then passes through the four-way valve back into the compressor.

[0030] The condenser is equipped with an outdoor air temperature sensor at the air outlet to obtain the outdoor condenser outlet temperature;

[0031] An ambient temperature sensor is installed near the condenser to obtain the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0032] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer program, when loaded onto the processor, implements the control method described above.

[0033] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a storage medium comprising a stored program, wherein the program, when running, controls the device where the storage medium is located to execute the control method described above.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include at least the following:

[0035] 1. The air conditioning control method designed in this invention, when the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, determines whether the continuous running time of the air conditioner is greater than or equal to the preset continuous running time. If so, it further determines whether the average value of the indoor cooling capacity is greater than or equal to the preset average value of the indoor cooling capacity. If so, it corrects the cooling target pressure, and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner operates at the corrected cooling target pressure. When the air conditioner is running in heating mode, if there is a corrected cooling target pressure, the heating target pressure is calculated based on the corrected cooling target pressure; otherwise, it operates at the preset heating target pressure. This method can effectively adapt to the differences in heat exchange characteristics of indoor units from different brands, ensuring that the outdoor unit can still maintain the stability of system energy efficiency and cooling / heating performance through pressure adaptive adjustment when running with indoor units from different brands, and significantly improving the user experience in cross-brand scenarios.

[0036] 2. This invention calculates the outdoor heating capacity by multiplying the difference between the outdoor condenser outlet temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature by the air mass flow rate and the specific heat capacity of the air. Then, it calculates the indoor cooling capacity by multiplying the cooling-heat balance ratio by the difference between the outdoor heating capacity and the outdoor unit power. Based on the above calculation method and the law of conservation of energy, the indoor cooling capacity can be calculated more accurately.

[0037] 3. By setting a preset lower limit cold target pressure, this invention can prevent over-correction and thus ensure the safety of system operation. Furthermore, by using a clear threshold, i.e., the preset lower limit cold target pressure, and simple mathematical operations, i.e. comparing the difference with the preset lower limit cold target pressure, correction is achieved without the need for complex model prediction or adaptive algorithms, which reduces the computational burden and hardware cost of the air conditioner, while ensuring the reliability and feasibility of the correction logic.
